R5,646 Discovery Miles 56 460 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Tribology is a multidisciplinary science that encompasses mechanical engineering, materials science, surface engineering, lubricants, and additives chemistry with tremendous applications. The development of high performance in different material pairs such as metal-metal, ceramic-ceramic, ceramic-polymer and metal-polymer composites is essential to enhancing tribology behaviour. Tribology, Lubrication, and Surface Engineering: Research and Applications, Two-Volume Set provides a systematic and comprehensive account of recent developments and applications in this area. Reviews emerging technologies, industrial tribology, and characterization of surface engineering and coatings Discusses how tribology works for machine elements and manufacturing processes Describes the mechanism that drives micro- and nanotribology Covers tribochemistry, tribocorrosion, green tribology, and biotribology Highlights applications and future perspectives Written for researchers and advanced students, this book encompasses a wide-ranging view of the latest in tribology, lubrication, and surface engineering for a variety of cross-disciplinary applications.

Bio-inspired Structured Adhesives - Biological Prototypes, Fabrication, Tribological Properties, Contact Mechanics, and Novel... Bio-inspired Structured Adhesives - Biological Prototypes, Fabrication, Tribological Properties, Contact Mechanics, and Novel Concepts (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Lars Heepe, Longjian Xue, Stanislav Gorb
R5,819 Discovery Miles 58 190 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book deals with the adhesion, friction and contact mechanics of living organisms. Further, it presents the remarkable adhesive abilities of the living organisms which inspired the design of novel micro- and nanostructured adhesives that can be used in various applications, such as climbing robots, reusable tapes, and biomedical bandages. The technologies for both the synthesis and construction of bio-inspired adhesive micro- and nanostructures, as well as their performance, are discussed in detail. Representatives of several animal groups, such as insects, spiders, tree frogs, and lizards, are able to walk on (and therefore attach to) tilted, vertical surfaces, and even ceilings in different environments. Studies have demonstrated that their highly specialized micro- and nanostructures, in combination with particular surface chemistries, are responsible for this impressive and reversible adhesion. These structures can maximize the formation of large effective contact areas on surfaces of varying roughness and chemical composition under different environmental conditions.

Adhesion and Friction in Biological Systems (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2012): Stanislav Gorb Adhesion and Friction in Biological Systems (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2012)
Stanislav Gorb
R4,519 Discovery Miles 45 190 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book is a collection of experimental studies demonstrating structure-function relationships in various biological systems having particular surface specialization to increase/decrease friction and adhesion. Studies on snake skin, adhesive pads, wing-interlocking devices and sticky mouthparts of insects as well as anti-adhesive and adhesive surfaces of plants are included in the volume containing four main subsections: (1) adhesion, (2) friction, (3) attachment-devices, (4) attachment-related behavior. Numerous experimental methods for characterizing tribological properties of biological surfaces at macro-, micro-, and nanoscale levels are demonstrated. This book is an excellent collection of publications on biotribology for both engineers and physicists working with biological systems as well as for biologists studying friction and adhesion. Inspirations from biology reported here may be also potentially interesting for biomimetics.
